Chapter 519: Dry
The minister is actually a person who constantly balances reality and the emperor.
In the case of industry and commerce, in fact, many ministers did not want the imperial court to focus on industry and commerce.
Because it is still an agrarian society, the country is still based on agriculture.
Even now, with the introduction of various facilities, agriculture has been harvested year after year, and the price of grain is frighteningly low.
But even so, agriculture is still the foundation of the country.
If people were engaged in industry and commerce for the sake of money, and neglected agriculture, then in a few years, the imperial court would fall into a food crisis.
At that time, the people who were used to making money would still be willing to come back to farm hard?
But the emperor had to do this, and as ministers, they had no choice.
can only follow the emperor's wishes over and over again, and do some tricks and feet in secret.
Of course, this is not a bad thing.
For example, the price of one stone of grain is four yuan, so now a person's monthly salary is about four yuan as stipulated by the imperial court.
And a person needs to consume at least two stone of grain a month, and if he lies at home and does not work, more than one stone is enough.
In other words, if a person earns money for a month, he can't support himself, let alone make money to support his family.
Therefore, the ministers secretly changed their concept and regarded the matter of making money through work as an auxiliary matter.
On the premise of not affecting farming, the family will come out to earn some money to subsidize the family, so that people will not rush to make money, thus ignoring agriculture.
The ministers could certainly see what industry and commerce could bring to the imperial court, but they were more concerned about the stability of the country.
Wang Ji's entire back was wet, purely frightened.
Previously silent, six items were suddenly thrown out.
If there were no three high-ranking officials fanning the flames, he would not have done it in a hot head.
Of course, I will still do it, but I won't be so reckless.
Wang Buxing looked at the several project books in his hand, and couldn't help but be a little shocked in his heart.
Is this about to start progressing towards the age of primary mechanization?
Is this about to start the industrial revolution of the Han Dynasty?
Although it is historically recognized that the Industrial Revolution began with the steam engine.
But if you really count it, in fact, it can only be said that the emergence of the steam engine brought the industrial revolution to a peak and completely opened the last level.
The first project is to use the hydraulic forging machine as an introduction, modify it, and complete the production of various threads through hydraulic power, so that it can be automated.
Compared to today, each thread is made by hand, the speed is very slow, and you must be very careful, otherwise it is easy to pull it off.
If this project can be successful, Dahan's cloth price will inevitably drop by more than ten times.
The second project is also based on the hydraulic forging machine as an introduction, and after modifying it, it can replace manual labor with hydraulic power to complete automatic weaving.
Even after 2,000 years, it is absolutely advanced, and it is also a world-class advanced technology.
(Don't be just, it's 202 B.C., and two thousand years later it's around 1798.) )
The third project is even more awesome, mechanized mining is difficult for now, but mechanized transportation can still be achieved.
The representative of this is the cable car, which now requires a large number of livestock to power it, so there are a large number of livestock on every mine, and it is not a small number to eat and drink.
The design allows the water power to be the power of the cable car, freeing up the livestock so that they can be used in agricultural production.
The next two projects seem to be two, but they are actually one project.
The two projects will go to Shu and Jiangxia counties to study why some of the cultivated land is more productive than others.
Although everyone said that the land there was good and fertile.
But when fertility runs out, it has been high every year for decades, which is very puzzling.
Their plan is to find out the cause and see if they can get the rest of Dahan's land to increase production.
"Your Majesty, if these projects can be successful, first, they can improve the existing efficiency, and second, they can liberate a large number of laborers, so that they can be used for other places, and the cost is actually not high, that is, it may cost some materials and occupy some production capacity......" Wang Ji said with some fear, and he had already scolded the ancestors of the three high-ranking officials for eighteen generations in his heart.
Special mother, you came up with the ghost idea, why did you let me come to the thunder?
It's okay to go to the thunder, you don't show up yet.
What else is the good name of saying that this is a matter of the Academy of Sciences, and it is inconvenient for the three provinces to participate.
Bah!
You're just afraid of being bitten ......
"Well, I'm right, but I can't take up too much capacity, let them each report the budget they need after they go down, and then discuss it with the Ministry of Industry." Wang Buyu nodded directly and agreed.
There's no reason not to say yes!
Can you refuse such a good thing?
That can't be!
The wheels of history are rolling forward, and a large number of mechanization will inevitably make a large number of labor force at a loss, and will inevitably eliminate more people.
But the problem is that if you don't do that, others will overtake you.
It is okay to stick to the rules, but we must not be outdated and backward in our thinking, because after all, if we are backward, we will be beaten.
The next walk was a year, and although the king was not hungry, he knew that a year was a long time.
But this trip is inevitable, and at this point, Wang Bu is not hungry and the three of them have the same idea, before leaving, you must do something, you can't wait for everyone to be idle after you leave, and you have nothing to do all day long, so the country will be chaotic......
Of course, after the industrialization of these things, will no one use them?
This king is not hungry and actually not worried, it is just some elementary basic version.
It is not a CNC computer operation, as long as the training is ten days and half a month, you can basically get started, and even less than a year, the production capacity will swish upward.
"That...... Your Majesty, the minister feels that this project can be used as an assessment for several of them......" Wang Ji hesitated again.
At first, I thought they couldn't do it, but this project surprised Wang Ji.
Even he didn't expect that his students would already have this level, which was an eye-opener for him.
Wang Buxing smiled slightly and said, "To do a good review, there must be real materials!" ”
"No!" Wang Ji's face suddenly became happy, it seems that His Majesty thinks the same as himself, and he can see that these students have some talent.
Wang Ji, who was satisfied, left the council hall with a happy face.
Zhang Buyi, who had been beside him, had a gloomy face, and said: "Your Majesty, isn't the minister saying bad things about anyone behind his back, although his apprentices have also studied in Luoyang Academy, but they have not experienced the imperial examination, if they are directly hired, is it difficult to explain?" ”
"What's there to explain?" Wang Buxing's eyes widened, and he said disdainfully: "Although the Academy of Sciences has official ranks, there is no list of applicants in the imperial examination, and the admission of the Academy of Sciences personnel is not directly admitted from the academy, as long as they have real skills, it doesn't matter whether they come out of the academy or not, and it ......."
